Engine Swap/Shop... Please Help

[niky]

Stage I, Stage II, Stage III... it all depends on who you ask.

Usually, people regard buying an air filter, putting on some headers and an exhaust as stage I. Others consider any "bolt-on" (meaning you can just attach it to the engine and use it as-is) as Stage I. This includes lighter flywheels, aggressive camshafts, etcetera. You can also do ignition advance (done by cranking the distributor and double-checking the timing with a light) and fuel control here... but some people rate fuel control as Stage II.

Stage II often includes port and polishing, higher compression (change of pistons and rods) and the like... while Stage III takes this a step further. Definitions may vary.

An SAFC - Air Fuel Controller... allows you to adjust your fueling. Most stock engines run slightly or moderately rich (in other words, they dump gasoline into the chamber) to run cooler. You can adjust your fuel mixture for a few horses.

But the thing is, after Stage I, it gets very expensive, and you may be better off just swapping in the B16A.

For a "cheap" but "good" build, Stage I modifications will include an air filter tube (a plastic Simota tube will do), a good air filter (K&N or Apexi) and a secondhand set of original headers (or a brand new custom set), a mandrel-bent midpipe, a good resonator and a muffler.

This will typically net you about 10-15 hp (or even as high as 20-25 if you've got a great header), and will cost you, with good budgetting, about 30,000 pesos... maybe more, maybe less, depending on how nice/cheap you want your set-up to be.
